On and Off Barrels are type of barrels found in the Super Nintendo Entertainment System game Donkey Kong Country. They appear as barrels with either the word "On" or "Off" on them.

These barrels only appear in one level, Loopy Lights. If the respectively barrel is set on the word 'Off', all the mine shaft lights in the level are turned off; but if the player (Donkey Kong or Diddy Kong) touches one, he or she will switch the lights on, and the word 'Off' on the barrel will be changed to 'On'. They help the heroes to see better on their way. Noticeably, the red Klaptraps can't be seen very well when the lights are turned off, so the player must be careful.

The On and Off Barrels are very similar to the Stop and Go Barrels.
